Chapter 167: Crisis

"Okay, Ping'er can have you, even if it is under Jiuquan, she will be gratified."

Liu Rong's dry hand hugged Chen Yue, a small amount of tears flowed from her cloudy and sunken eyes, more relieved than sad, although after all, she never saw her sister again in this life, but in the end she saw Chen Yue and Chen Mu.

Her memory is already very vague, and she is often confused, but this time she is surprisingly good, recalling the scene when she saw Chen Mu from afar a few months ago, but she didn't expect that Chen Mu at that time was really Liu Ping's son.

Bedside.

Song Qi and a pair of children were all gathered there.

Chen Mu stood far away, he didn't have so much reaction to Liu Rong, and even for Liu Ping in his memory, he didn't react much, after all, the person standing here was actually not that Chen Mu for a long time, even if it was for Chen Yue, Chen Mu was also because she was busy taking care of her in the days when she first came to this world, and because she got along with her later, he recognized her as his sister.

Looking for Liu Rong's family is more just to settle some bloodline cause and effect.

But after all, he still thought of some older memories about himself, but in the end he just shook his head.

Turn around and walk out of the house.

After a while.

I heard several overlapping cries from the room behind me.

"Brother......

Chen Mu stood in the courtyard and felt that he was being hugged from behind, but it was Chen Yue who hugged him with his slender arms from behind, sobbing tightly, and suddenly choked up: "Will we be like this one day?" ”

Chen Mu's distracting thoughts dissipated, turned around, and gently hugged the slender man, but did not answer.

I don't know how long it took.

Chen Yue's mood gradually improved, let go of Chen Mu, looked up, suddenly turned her head and wiped her eyes and face hard, she obviously hadn't cried in front of Chen Mu for a long time, she had obviously grown up.

Chen Mu looked at Chen Yue's appearance and laughed for a while, and after a while, he saw Song Qi walking out of the house.

Song Qi's eyes were also unconcealable sadness, and he looked at Chen Mu and stopped talking for a while.

"I'll wait until I talk about anything else, let's see off the old man first."

Chen Mu stopped Song Qi from opening his mouth and said slowly.

Although he did it, he didn't move the people too much, he still only arranged Liu Rong's funeral according to the usual specifications, and did not let the officials of the county government come to worship, but only invited some relatives and friends from Song Qi's side.

The relatives who came more or less heard about Chen Mu, and when they worshiped Liu Rong, they looked at Chen Mu with a bit of awe and eagerness in their eyes, and many people took the initiative to cling to the relationship, but Chen Mu's response was very plain, and it made people feel scared, so they didn't dare to go over.

"I said earlier that the sister-in-law married by the third brother of Song looked like a rich and noble person, but unfortunately I couldn't enjoy it when I was born, eh, have you heard, that Master Chen, the official is so big that even the county lord has to bow down."

"Master Chen became such a big official at such a young age, he must be a god in the sky, I just took a look, and I felt panicked, and I didn't dare to go over to speak."

Some of the neighbors whispered to each other.

Chen Mu could naturally hear these discussions clearly, but he didn't care about it, at this time, he was more waiting for some information from the Supervision Department and the Demon Slaying Division, and paying attention to the situation on Xu Hongyu's side.

After all the funeral ceremonies were completed, Chen Mu found Song Qi.

"Cousin Song, I won't say much else, the old man has left, although he didn't ask me for anything before his death, but I should take care of my nephews and nieces, I can arrange for Cousin Song to go to the county government on an errand, Zhou'er and Miao'er can also practice martial arts in the county government, and if they are successful in martial arts training in the future, they can also continue to go to the county government to develop."

Chen Mu briefly mentioned a few words.

If it had been placed in the past, he would probably have arranged for Song Zhou and Song Miao to go to Yu County to practice martial arts, but now the situation in Yu County is more complicated and unstable than the county government, but it is much more stable to stay in the county government.

He also briefly explored the root bone qualifications of the two, they all belong to the middle and upper, stronger than the average person, worse than Chen Yue, they belong to the type that has a certain opportunity to enter Yijin in the future, but the opportunity is not very large, and there may not be a better development when they go to the county government, but they will stay in the county government, and they will practice martial arts in the future to reach the realm of meat training, and they can also have a status and prosper for a generation.

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you."

Song Qi naturally did not follow Chen Mu's arrangement, and at this time he was even more happy in his heart, he could go to the county government on an errand, even if he was only a low-level official, he would not worry about food and clothing in the future, not to mention that the two children could practice martial arts in the county government, then the future way out would be much broader, and maybe he could become an official in the county government.

Chen Mu looked at Song Qi and nodded slightly, he recognized that he was not greedy, of course, it may also be a lack of knowledge and vision, and he felt that this was already a great favor, but in short, he would only let Song Qi sit up from the officials of the county government, if he really had the ability to be an official, it would be nothing to be promoted slowly in the future.

After arranging the affairs of Song Qi's family.

Soon, a scout from the Supervision Department quietly came to Chen Mu's side and reported the situation to Chen Mu.

"Did you go to Erlong Mountain?"

Chen Mu listened to the scout's report, revealing a brief look of thought.

Xu Hongyu took Xiaohe and a team of people and horses to kill the demons, and they were still chasing the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, and they had arrived near Erlong Mountain, which was more than 100 miles away from the county capital of Anyu County, which was relatively close.

Xu Hongyu is also a dignified Bone Forging Realm now, and the ordinary Heavenly Corpse Gate remnants are no threat to her at all, even if there are two or three golden corpses, she is not as powerless as she was back then, at least she can retreat calmly, and Chen Mu is not too worried about her safety, but since they are all so close, then he is fine, and it doesn't hurt to go over and take a look.

"Yue'er, if I leave, you will stay in the county government first."

Chen Mu then summoned Chen Yue and gave him an instruct.

Chen Yue was staying with Song Miao, and when she came over, she also pulled Song Miao, she was eight years older than Song Miao, but she was a whole generation older, seeing the two girls holding hands, Chen Mu thought of Chen Yue and Yu Ru again, and couldn't help but secretly think that this girl should not bend, but then she laughed for her strange idea.

After telling Chen Yue, Chen Mu quietly left Anyu County and headed towards Erlong Mountain.

……

Erlong Mountain.

It is said that it is a mountain, but it is actually a small mountain range, the structure of the mountain range is a bit like two intersecting dragons, so it is named, the mountain is green and evergreen, there are many resources, and there are many villages that rely on the mountain to eat the mountain nearby.

In one of the mountains and forests, Xu Hongyu wore the official uniform of the deputy capital of the Demon Slaying Division, and led two white-clothed guards and a group of green-clothed guards through the forest.

On the shoulder of one of the white-clothed guards, a small beast resembling a squirrel squatted, and the little beast moved its nose from time to time, sniffing the smell, and then flicked its small paws a few times, discerning its position in the forest.

"Miss, after dealing with this one, it's almost time for us to go back."

Xiaohe followed closely beside Xu Hongyu, and suddenly whispered to Xu Hongyu.

Xu Hongyu has made a lot of achievements in this trip, first of all, in the generation of the Purple Mist Mountain Range, when dealing with the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, he killed several people, killed a large number of silver corpses, and cooperated with others to kill several golden corpses.

After that, according to intelligence and orders, the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate were hunted around, and all the way to Anyu County, three remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate had been found and killed by the team led by Xu Hongyu, and the one in front of him was the fourth.

Of course.

Xiaohe is not thinking about Xu Hongyu's exploits on this trip, but that her own lady's marriage is scheduled for the beginning of spring, and it has not been long since she solves this one, and the time to return to Yucheng is just right.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Xu Hongyu's face was still cold, she tried so hard to hunt down the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, mainly because she wanted to find out about the disappearance of her father Xu Yichuan from the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, but she had not been able to get any clues.

According to her understanding now, the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate have been hidden in Yu County for nearly a hundred years, and most of the disappearances in Yu County are related to the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, although she doesn't want to think about it, but she has to investigate this matter to the end.

"My lord, it's close."

That's when it happened.

The white-clothed guard holding the squirrel beast on his shoulder took a few steps forward and whispered to Xu Hongyu, and saw that the little beast on his shoulder had become very restless at this time, constantly rubbing his two little paws.

At this time, there was no need for the white-clothed guard to remind them, and everyone had already become alert, because they had already vaguely smelled a faint smell of corpses, and tracking the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate basically followed the smell.

A little further on.

Xu Hongyu's pace stopped abruptly, and as soon as she raised her hand, the soft sword fell into her palm, and her eyes swept around coldly, and said, "Come out, you don't have to hide." ”

As Xu Hongyu's words fell, a hoarse voice came from the forest.

"Hey, what's a woman here?"

Followed by.

In the shadow of the bushes in the distance, a dwarf, withered figure appeared, because it was broad daylight, so even if it was far away, it could be seen clearly, with gray hair, but it was the appearance of a little old man.

In his deep-set eyes, two strange pupils as black as ink swept past Xiaohe and the others, and finally landed on Xu Hongyu's body, seemingly a little disappointed, sighed and said: "The deputy capital of the Demon Slaying Division, it should be the cultivation of the Bone Forging Realm, it's not bad, but how is it a woman...... Woman: How can I use it to refine a corpse? ”

Although it is not impossible to refine a female corpse, the probability of success will be much lower than that of a male corpse, and often after refining, the quality and strength are not as good as that of male corpses of the same level.

The voice fell.

The two white-clothed guards who followed Xu Hongyu all showed annoyed looks, and one of them immediately sneered: "When death is imminent, you dare to speak out, the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate hide in the dark place every day, I'm afraid they all practice bad brains." ”

The little old man heard the words of the white guard, but said faintly: "If I hadn't deliberately let out some breath, how could you have found here, since I deliberately let you find it, didn't you realize who is the prey?" ”

As the words fell.

The earth in the forest suddenly swelled up, and the earth shook with a gust of movement.

In an instant, I saw that more than 20 silver corpses broke out of the ground and surrounded everyone, and there were even two golden corpses with golden complexions, rich and thick corpses, and terrifying momentum!

"Golden Corpse ......"

Xu Hongyu's eyes were slightly condensed, but she was not afraid.

Now she is no longer the beginning, when she is almost desperate in the face of the golden corpse, although the golden corpse is not easy to deal with, but now it is in broad daylight, and it is the weakest time to refine the corpse.

Swish!

At that moment, Xu Hongyu did not hesitate too much, and immediately raised his sword and swung towards the two golden corpses.

With Xu Hongyu taking the lead, Xiaohe and many other people and horses of the Demon Slayer Division also started one after another, killing the many silver corpses nearby, and the battle situation immediately fell into a fierce situation.

The many people of the Demon Slayer Division faced more than 20 silver corpses, and they did not fall behind in the battle, and Xiaohe fought against a silver corpse alone, and she also occupied a weak upper hand, although she did not step into the Yijin Dacheng for a long time, but the time to chase and kill the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate was always chosen in broad daylight, although it was in a dense forest, which shaded a lot of sunlight, but between the battles, a tree fell, and the blazing sunlight shone directly, which greatly restricted the corpse qi of the silver corpse.

The other side.

Xu Hongyu relied on her own strength to fight two golden corpses alone, and she was almost at ease.

If it was at night, she could barely fight in the face of one golden corpse, and two could only escape, but in broad daylight, she was not afraid of anything, even if it was a golden corpse, after being restricted by the sun, her strength and speed would be greatly reduced.

"It works."

Xu Hongyu judged the situation.

Although she was one against two, and she was not able to take down two golden corpses, so she could only fight with them, but Xiaohe and the others had the upper hand, and it would not take long to kill all the silver corpses.

At that time, whether it is to come to support her side, to besiege and kill the golden corpse together, or to directly attack the corpse controller, the situation will fall to their side, and their side has an absolute advantage!

However.

It was at this time.

The little old man of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, who looked at the situation in the field, shook his head, squinted his eyes to look at the sun hanging high in the sky, and said: "I really chose a good time to occupy the heavenly time, and my golden and silver corpses were suppressed even more than I expected...... It's a pity that the old man doesn't really want to use that. ”

As the words fell.

Suddenly, an invisible qi spread out from the little old man's body.

Xu Hongyu keenly sensed that something was wrong, and immediately reminded:

"Beware!"

However, the other party's methods were even more fierce than she expected, and she saw a black shadow, breaking out of the deep underground, covered by a strange black mist, and the speed was even faster and terrifying, far exceeding the golden corpse.

The whole figure only flickered, and then appeared behind a white-clothed guard.

The white-clothed guard's whole person froze in place at once, his eyes widened slightly, and the part of his waist and abdomen on the left side was suddenly vacant!

The most terrifying thing is that the flesh and internal organs exposed at the gap are not normal colors, but as if they have been completely corrupted, emitting a foul smell.

This time it was sudden, which shocked the audience.

That white-clothed guard is a character who is easy to complete, second only to Xu Hongyu in strength, especially in the middle of the day, even if he faces a golden corpse alone, he will not be killed with one move.

The figure covered in a strange black mist, the strength is undoubtedly above the golden corpse, and they have had a large-scale melee in the Purple Mist Mountain Range and the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Gate, and it is not that they have never seen this kind of black shadow, and they know very well what this is.

"Corpse!"

Someone spoke in a trembling voice, and his face turned pale for a while.
